The labor committee held protracted and,
it is said somewhat discordant session, this
afternoon, oyer the ten-hour bill which has
been re-committed to them with the bill pro-
viding for bureau of labor statistics. They
did not come to any definite conclusion,
there being great diversity of opinion as to
the best course to pursue The committee
were instructed by the House to combine the
two bills into a new and more comprehensive
bill; but they are not compelled to do so if
they do not want to, as it is hardly in the
province Of the House to give matter to a
committee to consider and at the same time
dictate the conclusion to which those con-
siderations are to come. There is little at
present to indicate what the committee will
do; but they will probably take the sugges-
tion of the House.
